Notes:

Lord Beaverbrook maintained that "it was his Celtic strain that he inherited from his Irish mother , that gave him the side that 'gets up and dances'." However Jane was not born in Ireland, according to Beaverbrook's biography, she was born in Ontario, Canada. His biography gives her being born about 1843 however the 1881 Census says she was 32 in 1881 which would make her born about 1849. Her parents were Irish, having emigrated from County Tyrone in the 1840's.

Jane's marriage was undemonstrative but she was devoted to her husband.
Jean McLintock, daughter of Jane and William was quoted as saying "Mama was the stronger character."

"As the wife of the minister of St James she was automatically one of the town's leading citizens, and she played her full part, arranging sewing parties at the manse, giving tea parties on the lawn in summer, and organising dances in the double parlour. She was a good cook. Everyone who knew her regarded her as an efficient manager running the house and family, ambitious for her children and standing no nonsense from the congregation. Her response to whispered disapproval about dancing in the manse was to hold a special dance and send out printed invitations."
A.J.P.Taylor.
On a trip to Scotland Jane travelled from Canada, Quebec, to Southampton on board the Canadian Pacific ship "Empress of Scotland" in Oct 1924. She travelled 1st Class with her daughter Anne. The shipping documents give their contact address as the Stafford Hotel, St James's Place, London.
She survived her husband by 14 years and she wore widows weeds until the day she died. According to Beaverbrook's biography she died Jun 1927. Burke's Peerage gives her date of death as 6 Aug 1927. According to the OCFA she was buried at St Andrews Presbyterian Cemetery Maple, Vaughan, York County, ONT.

Jane married Reverend William Cuthbert Aitken on 8 May 1867 in Vaughan, York, Ontatio, Canada. William (son of Robert Aitken and Ann Henderson) was born on 28 Feb 1834 in Torphichen, West Lothian, Scotland; died on 13 Dec 1913 in Newcastle, Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada; was buried in St Andrew.

Notes:

The nickname "Rahno" comes from a mix of her name, SaRAH NOble. The birthdate comes from Burke's Peerage. They say she was born in Newcastle, NB. But the 1881 Census says born in Ontario. And Ontario ties in with the movements of her parents.

After leaving school in Newcastle, NB, Rahno attended school and university in Edinburgh, for six years.

In 1896 her father went to Scotland, for his health, and Rahno accompanied him

In 1904 she was a Hospital Superintendent in Montreal and at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan in Los Angeles.

Her travel diary is now in the care of the British House of Commons Library. It was deposited there by Lord Beaverbrook's biographer, Michael Davie.

She loved to travel and was often accompanied by her sister, "Gyp", Jean Stickney, who was also a widow.
Once or twice the travels had to be cut short due to asthmatic attacks.

Notes:

Rahno was asthmatic, as was her brother, William
Thomas Barton Aitken, and many of the older folk at Torphichen, always maintained that Max was born in Torphichen. The birth was supposed to have taken place when William and Jane were home on leave. However the records show that Max was born in Canada.
In later life Max described himself as "conspicuously naughty and rather idle boy."
He along with the other children in Newcastle, attended Harkins Academy.
On Sundays Max pumped the pipe organ at the church, for a payment of 25 cents per week. He got the sack after falling asleep during a church service. (It was probably this memory that caused him to install an automatic pump in the pipe organ he donated to the church.)
At about the age of 13, in 1893 he produced his first paper, "The Leader", which he sold for 1 cent a copy. This was closed when his father found him working at 2.00 a.m. Sunday morning. He became a correspondent for the Saint John Sun.
When he was 16 he was sent to sit the entrance exam for Dalhousie University at Halifax. Because of having to learn Greek or Latin he did not complete the entrance. The thought of having to learn a dead language repulsed him.
Instead of going to university he went to work in a drug store. There he met an important customer, Mr Sinclair.
Mr Sinclair helped financially to allow Max to study law. Max repaid him before he made his millions. By the time he made his money, Mr Sinclair had died, Max created an Ice Rink for the young people of Newcastle and called it the Edward Sinclair Ice Rink in memory of his benefactor.
Max joined the law office of Mr Bennett later the Prime Minister of Canada. Also dabbling in stocks and shares he became a successful businessman eventually moving into newspaper publishing.
On 28 Dec 1905 the announcement of his engagement was published in the Montreal papers. Typical of the haste in which Max worked he was to be married on 29 Jan 1906, to Gladys Drury, "Gladys Drury, a girl universally liked and universally thought beautiful."
She was very young being 18 to his 26.

The wedding of Willaim and Gladys was reported in the "Halifax Morning Chronicle."The ceremony was a very quiet wedding which was attended by Max's mother, his brother Traven and 43 other guests."
After making a fortune in Canada he moved to England and became a newspaper owner.
He was the founder of The Sunday Express and owner of Beaverbrook Newspapers.
Moving into politics in England he became a Member of Parliament for Ashton Under Lyne (1910-1916). He had made his home at Cherkley, near Leatherhead, Surrey.
In 1911 he was knighted, much against the wishes of George V, becoming Sir Max Aitken.
1915 saw him with the Canadian Expeditionary Force as "Eye Witness", the Canadian Government Representative at the Front (1916). Wrote the book "Canada in Flanders" which went into its 13th print in 1916.
Created a Baronet in 1916 and in 1917 became the first Baron Beaverbrook.
He held various cabinet posts and during WWII he was Minister for Aircraft Production. He was a philanderer as well as a philanthropist and could be a proper tyrant in his dealings with people.
His marriage was not always a smooth one. Despite his proffessed love of Gladys he had many mistresses,Tallulah Bankhead actress, Rebecca West author of Sunflower, Mrs Diana Cooper wife of a fellow cabinet minister and others. Some he had affairs with over many years but he could not even be faithfull to them as he had other affairs at the same time. Principal amongst his mistresses was Mrs Jean Norton.
In 1925 he installed Jean Norton in a house on his Cherkley Court estate. She remained as his principle mistress until 1945.
In 1927 Gladys was very ill with a brain tumour. She was then residing at Stornaway House, Max's London residence.
Janet, their daughter, convinced him of the seriousness of her mother's illness. And so Max returned to London, from the south of France, where Max was living with Jean Norton.
He arrived in time for his wife's death.
True to his hyprocrisy, he wandering the hallways of Stornaway House wringing his hands and proclaiming "I have lost my harbour".
Mrs Norton took over his wife's duties after Gladys died.
When Mrs Norton died in 1945 again he was found wringing his hands and this time proclaiming "I have lost my moorings".
He was a multi millionaire making most of his money from newspapers.
As a newspaper mogul he was able to organize the British news media to impose a news blackout on the future King Edward VIII and Mrs Wallis Simpson's affair.
Max celebrated his 85th birthday by having a party for 650 people, all men. By this time he was finding it absolute agony to walk being taken everywhere in a wheelchair, but on this occasion he walked to the party and then gave a brilliant speech. Two weeks later he died.
He was often accused of some shonky deals, especially in his younger days.
He always maintained he was born in Canada so that after he died there would be a certain tax saving.
Max died on 9 Jun 1964, at Leatherhead, SRY. England, and was cremated on 14 Jun 1964, in England and the ashes taken back to Canada.
The Town Council of Newcastle wanted his ashes to be buried in the town square but he thought the pigeons would poop on him so before he died he had a cairn erected, where his ashes would be interred. There was a house blocking the view from the cairn up the Miramachi River. So he purchased the house and had it demolished.
When his ashes were interred in the cairn he had, at last, his view of the river.
Beaverbrook was determined not to leave any of his money to the government so if he could not take it with him he left his money to various charitable trusts, to minimise death duties. No money was left to his relatives but he did leave them shares in various businesses.

Notes:

The following history of Allan's military/naval service needs further scrutiny. Dates do not tally.
There is a letter, in the Winston Spencer Churchill records, from Sir Max Aitken, dated 10 Sep 1914.
The letter is a letter of thanks from Sir Max thanking Winston Churchill for obtaining a commission for his brother Allan into the Royal Naval Division.
The "Who's Who" Information is suspect if the following is correct.
"Served with the Royal navy 1914-1916. Retiring from the navy becoming a Lieutenant in the RNR. He then joined the Canadian Army in which he served with the 11th CIF and the CEF as a Brigade Major. Awarded the Military Cross, when he was Major with the 4th Canadian Division WW1. He was wounded at Gallipoli, (something strange here because if he was injured at Gallipoli, which was evacuated in Dec 1915, whilst he was in the army, yet supposedly he was in the navy at that time.

Notes:

In her autobiography she says she was born at Arm, Halifax. But in a biography of her father "Lord Beaverbrook, a Life" by Anne Chisholm and Michael Davie, her place of birth is given as Peurto Rico.
" He (Beaverbrook) planned to go south in January to recuperate: to Peurto Rico. 'I am leaving Mrs Aitken behind because she seems to be getting on so well here. Her family is in mourning and not going out at all and consequently she has no temptation to over-exert herself......... ."
".... their plans changed and she went with him to Peurto Rico.
The birth of their first child, Janet, on 9 Jul 1908, he said, 'increased the intimacy of our relationship."
When 6 Dec 1917 the French munitions ship, Mont Blanc, blew up, in Halifax Harbour, it destroyed government buildings housing the birth death and marriage records for Halifax.
This was supposedly why Janet never had a birth certificate.
More likely it was because she was not born in Halifax?

Janet was an invetrate traveller and it was she who first travelled to Barbados and found Holders House, which she purchased in 1963.
She was a great horsewoman and it was her idea that all the Kidd children should be named with names beginning with "J". This saved the cost of changing monogrammed horseboxes, saddlecloths, etc.
Thus we have Jane, John, Jemma, Jodie, Jack, etc.
Gourlay quotes Michael Foot (MP) in "The Beaverbrook I Knew" as saying 'Janet had strong streaks of the Beaverbrook charm ' but she did not possess her father's devotion to politics or journalism. 'Janet had a streak, too, of the old man's guile to add to the charm, but she was still no politician.
